ESCRIPTION
:
Maxwell Technologies’ 79C0408 multi-chip module (MCM)
memory features a greater than 100 krad (Si) total dose toler-
ance, depending upon space mission. Using Maxwell Technol-
ogies’ patented radiation-hardened R
AD
-P
AK
® MCM
packaging technology, the 79C0408 is the first radiation-hard-
ened 4 Megabit MCM EEPROM for space applications. The
79C0408 uses four 1 Megabit high-speed CMOS die to yield a
4 Megabit product. The 79C0408 is capable of in-system elec-
trical Byte and Page programmability. It has a 128 bytes Page
Programming function to make its erase and write operations
faster. It also features Data Polling and a Ready/Busy signal to
indicate the completion of erase and programming operations.
In the 79C0408, hardware data protection is provided with the
RES pin, in addition to noise protection on the WE signal and
write inhibit on power on and off. Software data protection is
implemented using the JEDEC optional standard algorithm.
Maxwell Technologies' patented R
AD
-P
AK
® packaging technol-
ogy incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit pack-
age. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing
the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space
mission. In a GEO orbit, R
AD
-P
AK
provides greater than 100
krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available
with screening up to Class K.
